When I was a 10 year old Navy junior on a Naval base, we kids would be outside on a summer evening playing hopscotch, jump rope, and other. The truck would come through spraying for mosquitoes. We’d run for home.
Don’t know how old you are...and I hope you are well.
Myself...when the “mosquito truck” came by...we all jumped on our bicycles and chased it.
Today..I’m still alive. Tomorrow? Who knows?
I remember in the early 60s on an AF base overseas them spraying the housing areas with DDT trucks several times a week. Heavy fog. I even got caught in it riding my bicycle more than once. I have yet to see a positive long term assessment of the ills of DDT vs use benefits against multiple insect borne diseases.
